SimpleIndex has a variety of prompts and pop ups that must be clicked that come up by default. These are normally needed by most users to set certain options or perform certain tasks based on the Job Configuration settings that have been set-up. These can be forced to be turned off though with a command line script. This can be configured in the settings for a shortcut that points to the Job Configuration that you would like to suppress the prompts and pop ups on.

Instructions to set Job Configuration shortcut to suppress all prompts and pop-ups:

1. Right click on the Job Configuration file and select “Create shortcut” or “Sent to>Desktop”
2. Find the shortcut, Right click on the shortcut and select “Properties”
3. In the “Target:” field change the text in the field.
4. Here is an example of the original text in the “Target:” field of a Job Configuration shortcut: “C:\SimpleIndex\Scan and OCR.sic”
5. Here is what this section would be changed to for suppressing the prompts:
   “C:\Program Files (x86)\SimpleIndex\SimpleIndex.exe” /c:”C:\SimpleIndex\Scan and OCR.sic” /s
6. The “/s” in this example is the command to suppress prompts and pop ups in SimpleIndex.
7. The path to the Job Configuration file that you want to use will need to be set to the proper destination and filename, including file type extension.

Index fields have a default 8 point font size, but this can be changed if required for visibility. You can change this by editing a registry file in the Registry Editor and set any font size you would like.

To make this change follow these instructions

1. Close out of SimpleIndex entirely
2. Open the Windows Registry by going to the Windows Search and searching for “RegEdit”
3. Go to this location in the Registry Folder Tree: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\SimpleIndex\Misc
4. In this window you will see a key called “IndexFontSize”.
5. Open this file and change the value to the font size you would like and then click OK.
6. Close and reopen SimpleIndex to see the change in effect.

If you would like to have SimpleIndex automatically go to the next page with a blank field and highlight that field when the Save Index button or Enter a change to the XML text of the Job Configuration is needed. This can be useful to quickly move to the next document that has a blank Index field.

Instructions to set Skip to Blank index on Save Index:

1. Right click on the Job Configuration file that you would like to suppress the prompt on and select Open With>Notepad
2. Search the XML settings text open in Notepad for this term:
   <SKIP_TO_NEXT_BLANK>
3. Set the value between from “False” to “True”
   <SKIP_TO_NEXT_BLANK>True</SKIP_TO_NEXT_BLANK>
4. Save and close the file.

To turn on the carry Forward when you blank out an index field do the following:

1.  Right click on the configuration file and open with Notepad or another text editor.

2.  Search for this XML value:  FORWARD_BLANK

3.  Set the value to true

This usually indicates an overload of the memory of the computer, which causes an error. The usual solution to this issue is to scan batches with a fewer number of pages.

There are two ways to do double-key verification in SimpleIndex.

When there is one operator, simply configure 2 index fields with the same name. The index value can only be saved if the 2 fields match.

If there are multiple operators, you can accomplish the same thing using “Database Update Mode”. The first user keys the value, and that is saved in the database to Field 1. The 2nd user uses a configuration that has two fields with the same name–one that reads the value from Field 1 and another that is mapped to Field 2 (initially blank). The 2nd user keys the value into Field 2 and will only be allowed to save it if the value matches Field 1.

We recommend contacting our professional services department before attempting to setup double-key verification in a multi-user environment, as this is one of the more complicated configurations that SimpleIndex supports.

This is a known compatibility issue between the browser plug-ins for Acrobat 6 (Full) and Acrobat 7 (Reader). When both programs are installed on the same machine, and automatic updates are applied, registration for the browser plug-in is corrupted.

This problem affects any application using the Acrobat browser plug-in, including Internet Explorer and other web browsers.

The short-term solution is to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat 7. It is recommended you download the latest version from Adobe to prevent the problem from recurring when the next update is installed.

The long-term solution is to upgrade to Acrobat 7 Standard or Pro and uninstall Acrobat 6.

List fields are populated using a text file or database field containing the values for that list. The text file scenario will be described first.

To configure a list field, go to the Index tab in the Job Options. Create a list field by selecting “List” for the field type and give it a name. In the “List File/Field” setting for this field, put the full path or UNC to the text file containing the list or click “Set” to browse to the file. If you have not created a file, you can put the path where you want the file stored here and click the “Edit” button. This will open the file in Notepad; new files will prompt you to create them.

On each line of the text file you will put one of the possible values that you want to be able to select from while you are indexing with SimpleIndex. You can copy this information from another source and paste it into the text file.
Save the file in Notepad and close it. The List field is now configured!

To use a database field, your configuration must be connected to a database using the settings on the Database tab. Any fields defined as “List” on the Index tab that have a corresponding field mapped on the Database tab will use the unique values from that field to populate the list.

You can check “Only allow values in list” to disallow users from entering a value not in the list.

Once the List index field is configured properly you can select the values from a drop down after scanning that appear in the main SimpleIndex window while indexing. It also makes the field autofill the closest match from the list based on the characters that you type in that field.
